   string     I   Input character string.

   The function returns the zero-based index of the last non-blank 
   character in a character string.

   string     is the input character string.
</PRE>
<h4><a name="Detailed_Output">Detailed_Output</a></h4>
<PRE>
   The function returns the zero-based index of the last non-blank 
   character in a character string.  If the string is entirely blank 
   or is empty, the value -1 is returned.
   </PRE>
<h4><a name="Parameters">Parameters</a></h4>

    1) If the input string pointer is null, the error 
       SPICE(NULLPOINTER) will be signaled.

   None.

<h4><a name="Particulars">Particulars</a></h4>
<PRE>
   If the string is blank or null, return -1. Otherwise, step through
   the string one character at a time until something other than
   a blank is found. Return the zero based index of that something
   within the string.

   Note that if the length of the string to the last non-blank
   character is of interest, that value is the returned value plus one.

   The following examples illustrate the use of <b>lastnb_c</b>.

         last = <b>lastnb_c</b> ( &quot;ABCDE&quot;              );
         last is 4

         last = <b>lastnb_c</b> ( &quot;AN EXAMPLE&quot;         );
         last is 9

         last = <b>lastnb_c</b> ( &quot;AN EXAMPLE        &quot; );
         last is 9

         last = <b>lastnb_c</b> ( &quot;                  &quot; )
